Everything suddenly turned blue in You Tube and other sites-- don't know where to post this question

Hello, everyone. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this inquiry but I just have no idea where to look for help with a very bizarre video problem that seems to affect flash video on some websites but not others.

Suddenly yesterday everything has turned an intense blue when viewing videos (flash) on Youtube.com or cnn.com. Caucasian faces are blue. Black faces are blue. Anything that is (should be) yellow is now a shade of green. Anything red is now a shade of purple.

However, videos (also flash, I presume) on cbs.com and nbc.com look normal.

I do **not** have the "blue" problem when viewing youtube or cnn.com video clips stored on my computer. That is, if I download one of these "blue" video clips from You Tube or cnn.com and then play it using Kaffeine or KMplayer it looks fine -- normal colors. It's only when I click on the YouTube or cnn.com video while in a browser does it look strange. Same thing happens using either Firefox or Chrome.

So... what the heck is going on, and where do I even start trying to fix the color mess?

I like that.
To the op you are not alone, mine even had a choppy sound, I had to open pavucontrol to eradicate the choppiness.
Anyway, I went back to flash 11.1, I can't stand it. Like the title of one of the flash problem. It sucks!

People who do not break things first will never learn to create anything
